2 tablespoons Promise margarine, melted
2 eggs, well beaten
3 cups all-purpose wheat flour (or Better for Bread flour), divided

Blend reserve egg with milk, and carefully brush over braid. Cover and allow to rise until double in size (about 1 1/2 hours). Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until done.
